I'm having a little bit of troubling distinguishing between units and associates. I realize they are connected but mean different things, the problem is that I can't tell in what ways they're related and what things make them different. It's just kind of a confusing definition for me.
This section was pretty short so there wasn't too much interesting stuff, but I do like that they transfer the basic concept of primes into the polynomials as well. It's also helpful that they describe it as "irreducible" instead of "prime" because it makes it easier to keep things straight and I think it describes the concept better anyway.
